I fucked that [C#] up.
You know, I think with having the diversity that we've had in the band,
it's created [F#] new places of inspiration.
[C#] And it's pushed me, personally, into trying new things vocally.
The way the melodies come out over [F#] [C#] the heavier music
makes it very digestible and palatable.
And so it sets it up for the message [E] to be [C#] loud and clear.
[F#] And I think these are [C#] very universal messages.
And, you know, they're authentic because I lived it.
[E] [C#] And, you know, when people, I think, kind of listen to the record
and [E] then reflect [C#] on, you know, some of my past before I got sober,
[F#]
they'll be able [C#] to put it together.
It kind of makes sense now, looking back and hearing it.
You can hear everybody's input and everyone's personality
and everyone's ingredient and identity in there.
One of my favorite tunes, Afterburn, he's got a solo in there that I
It's one of the coolest solos I've ever heard in my life.
And half the times with the solos on the Art of Anarchy stuff,
it's just first take.
It's [Em] just blow [C#] through it.
Just do whatever hits [Em] you at the moment.
And that [F#] ends up being the solo.
A lot of times it works that way.
[C#] [C#m] I tell you what, man, I mean, we [C#] didn't know what to expect
[Am] [F#] when we first released the single [F#m] and the video.
[C#] And, you know, it's been very positive.
Even from media outlets [E] [G#] that Aren't usually.
Yeah, that can be [C#] quite critical and harsh of even the greatest bands
that have been around.
Blabbermouth, to be [F#m] specific.
[C#]
Surprisingly, you know, we've gotten some really great positive feedback.
You know, people are giving me a chance to kind of [F#m] prove myself again
and reestablish [C#] myself in a new band.
And I appreciate the [A#] fans for that.
[Dm] It's easy, the [A#] happiness keeps me from reacting.
[Dm] [C#]
It's reacting.
It's definitely done what we had hoped that it would do so far
with those that have heard it.
They want to hear a little more.
And that's all you can hope for at this stage.
Century is a great company.
[C#m] We started with another Century.
They're sticking with us, [F#] we're sticking with them.
[C#] They're a great team, they're a great bunch.
Yeah, I mean, it's nice to have a label like Sony behind you.
And all the brains and connections and power that that brings
to a record company, which is very attractive to a band like us.
And these guys were already with them.
[F#] And it just made it that [C#] much more appealing to me
to want to get involved knowing that they had that kind of label behind them.
[F#] [C#] I would say two-thirds is a good [F#m] rough [C#] number
to say how far finished stuff is.
Is an album ever actually finished?
You know, you could always tweak and tweak and tweak.
And we will be until the day, the night before we turn the thing in.
But we're getting there.
[D#] [C#] You could see the finish [E] line.
[C#] Yeah, you know, I mean, specifically, [E] [F#m] we're about three songs [E] away.
And we've got the [A] workings of those songs already there.
[C#] It's just a matter of getting together, going to Ron's studio,
laying down the vocals and the melodies
and working on some definitive arrangements and then laying it out.
So [F#m] we're right there at the [C#] finish line.
I [E]
[C#] wouldn't be here today without my wife, Jaclyn, and my family
[F#] and their support [C#] and just loyalty and love.
You know, for me, the biggest issue and hurdle
was to get rid of alcohol and drugs.
And then everything else kind of straightened itself out once that happened.
And then to be in a band that stands behind
me living a life of recovery,
guys in the band that don't drink, don't use drugs.
To have that kind of support enables us to just focus on [C#m] music with no distraction.
[C#] And at the end of the day, that's all you want.
Music has always been a form of therapy for me
and a way that I process life.
And this project has just fallen right into the rhythm
[C#m] and the cycle of my [C#] life at the perfect time.
For me to kind of process [E] where I've been [C#] and where I'm going
and share that story [E] and really connect [F#] universally
[F#m] [C#] with the themes [F] and [C#] the lyrics.
And so, [C#m] you know, it's definitely [C#] been a therapeutic process for me.
Everybody, I'm Ron Bumblefoot [G#] Thal.
And I'm [C#] Scott Stapp and we are Art of Anarchy.
